Yesterday we pushed the 1.0.12 RC package to our main repository server instead of a separate server hosting RC packages. This means anyone with the official client installed will be prompted to update to the 1.0.12 RC on a general package update. This was not our intention.
If you’ve already updated to 1.0.12 RC, it’s not a problem this time around but the idea with RCs (release candidates) are to have a package to test with before doing the full release in case of a breaking bug. We haven’t found any problems our tests so far.
If you haven’t updated, we suggest holding off until the main 1.0.12 comes out.
We have plans to release 1.0.12 tonight but we’ll update here if that changes.
Folks, we’ve finished up most tasks for the release but are waiting for tomorrow so tiredness doesn’t get the best of the engineering team. Thanks for your patience!
I am currently running a 1.0.11 (‘Sprout’ ?) node. Pardon the (somewhat) ignorant question, but I wanted to confirm the terminal commands required to upgrade to 1.0.12.
I found the following command about the Internet and wondered how it might be modified to effect the upgrade. My suspicion is:
I followed the instructions on this webpage (Home · zcash/zcash Wiki · GitHub) under “Compile it yourself”. I think the answer to your question is via ‘apt’, but I figured I’d double-check.
